Hasegawa Sopwith Camel.

**wonwinglo** · 02-01-2006

Just in case anyone is wondering what the Hasegawa Sopwith Camel looks like in 1=8th scale them here is a picture of one ? they did the S.E.5A in this same series,only a few hundred were made of each kit so they are like hens teeth to get hold of,but you never know there just could be a few left unbuilt in a drawer somewhere.

I hate to admit this but in my loft i have a Camel and a DR1 i paid £115.00 each for them back in 1889 I really do mean to get round to building them along with the 379 other kits up there

*** Nigel,you really do have two rare kits there,the picture shown was taken at a very early IPMS meeting,this is the only time that I have ever seen the Camel,once an SE5A appeared in a local auction and went very cheaply,I regret not buying it.
Never mind when you retire you can concentrate on building your large collection.

Dr.1 is still available if you look about, though the price isn`t so good

*** That is interesting Adz,they must have re-issued this one,price works out at 69,800 yen which is £342.358 as against £399.00 of the Hachette lookalike,and a lot better quality as well,thanks for pointing this out.
